Question

What happens when chlorine gas is passed through dry slaked lime?

Answer 1

bleaching powder CaOCl2 is formed. t
the reaction is ca(OH)2 +Cl2---------CaOCl2+ H2O

Answer 2

The reaction of slaked lime with chlorine gas leads to the formation of calcium oxychloride.

Explanation:

• In the given reaction two reactants are given. First, it is slaked lime which is chemically called calcium hydroxide and its molecular formula is $Ca(OH)_2$.
• Second, it is chlorine gas and its molecular formula is $Cl_2$.
• When slaked lime is made to react with chlorine gas, the following reaction occurs:

$Ca(OH)_2+Cl_2\rightarrow CaOCl_2+H_2O$

• Form the above equation, it is clear that two products namely calcium oxychloride ($CaOCl_2$) and water is formed.
• Calcium oxychloride is commonly called bleaching powder which is used for domestic as well as industrial purposes.
